Unused Music

The first is what would become the "Fatality" jingle throughout the series, the second appears to be an 8-bit version of the "Round Over" jingle from Goro's lair on the Genesis version.

Kano Ending Text

Though Kano isn't in this port, his ending text is!

WITH THE DEFEAT OF
GORO AND SHANG 
TSUNG, KANO WILL
BRING HIS OWN BRAND
OF TREACHERY TO THE
TOURNAMENT. HIS
BLACK DRAGON
ORGANIZATION FORMS A
MONOPOLY OVER THE
CONTEST...

THAT BRINGS SHAME
AND TORMENT TO ALL
THOSE INVOLVED.
THEIR REIGN WILL END
IN ANARCHY AND DEATH
IT WILL RESULT IN
THE FINAL
DISMANTLING OF
THE TOURNAMENT AND
THE BATTLE OF
THE SANS.
